The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

The effect of "[Lightning Gun]" is that during your Main Phase, you can change the battle position of one face-up monster. "[Lightning Gun]" has three bullets and will destroy itself after using up all three of its effects.

Jaden pointed towards the dragon and shouted, "Activate the effect of [Lightning Gun], [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] changes to Defense Position."

Si Electro pulled the trigger, and a bolt of electricity shot out from the muzzle of the gun.

*Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!*

Under the control of the electric current, the black dragon's body contracted.

Roar--!

Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Defense 2000

Asuka: "Very good, the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] in its defense state is much easier to deal with."

Darkness clicked his tongue inwardly, "Just trying to be clever."

Without hesitation, Jaden launched an attack: "Go, Nova Master, attack Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

At his command, the new star lord charged forward again, unleashing a fiery fist that struck the black dragon.

boom--! !

Under this attack, the black dragon was instantly shattered into pieces.

Asuka exclaimed excitedly, "We did it!"

Jaden: "At this moment, the monster effect of Nova Lord activates, and I draw another card from my deck."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 4]

As Jaden drew his card, Darkness coldly announced, "Another effect of the Equip Spell [Claw of the Dark Dragon] is activated!"

This effect can be activated if the equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, causing this card to be sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon that monster to your field, and equip this card to it. If this card equipped by this effect leaves the field, banish it.

"Awaken, [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flame suddenly ignited on his field, and the figure of the black dragon reappeared from the flames.

"The attack power of the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] increases by 600 points when it is equipped with the [Dark Dragon Claw] again."

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Attack Power 2400 → 3000]

"But my battle is not over yet..."

Jaden swung his hand and commanded, "Go! Electroman, attack Long Spear Dragon! Lightning Strike!"

Electro then raised his left hand, releasing a bolt of electricity that struck Long Spear Dragon.

boom--!

Before the spear-dragon could even scream, it exploded into countless fragments.

"That concludes my battle."

Jaden continued, "Then I activated the effect of [Lightning Gun], used up the remaining two bullets, and switched Electroman and Nova to defense stance."

So Electro fired a shot at himself and another at Nova, who was standing next to him.

[Elemental Heroes: Electro Wizard - Defense 1400]

[Elemental Heroes Nova Master: Defense 2100]

"After the effect has been used up, this card is destroyed."

boom!

The pistol that Electro was holding shattered with a crash.

After that, he inserted the two cards from his hand into the Duel Disk one after the other: "Two cards face down, end of turn."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 2]

Asuka: "Great. If all the monsters are in Defense Position, then that guy won't be able to do any damage to Jaden."

Darkness sneered, "Is that really so?"

Judai frowned upon hearing this. "What?"

"Savor it, Jaden Yuki! The wrath of the black dragon, the heat of magma!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Darkness cards in hand: 2→3]

Darkness put down the card he had drawn, then drew another card and revealed it, shouting, "I activate the spell card, [Black Flame Bullet]!"

"The effect of this card is to deal damage to the opponent's [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] equal to its original ATK value."

[Darkness cards in hand: 3→2]

The black dragon opened its mouth again, and a dark red dragon flame gathered inside.

The next second, the dragon flame condensed into a black flame bullet and was launched.

boom--! ! !

"Ughh ...

Dragon flames burned Jaden's body, bringing intense burning pain.

[Yujo Jaden: LP3900→1500]

Asuka couldn't help but worry: "Judai?!"

Darkness continued, "During the turn [Black Flame Bullet] is activated, [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] cannot attack, therefore..."

As he spoke, he inserted a card into the duel disk.

"Finally, I'll set one more card face down, and the turn ends."

[Darkness cards in hand: 2→1]

By this time, Jaden was panting heavily and could barely stand.

Compared to the previous dark duels, this battle caused greater physical damage.

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Flash Flame Wingman

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

Jaden gritted his teeth, trying to stay focused, and then looked at the card he had drawn.

He played the card directly: "Quick-Play Spell Card [Mask Change] activated, send [Elemental HERO Electro] to the Graveyard, and Special Summon [Mask HERO], which is also a LIGHT attribute card."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

A beam of light shot out from beneath Electro's feet, obscuring his figure.

"Henshin! Show yourself, [Kamen Rider Koga]!"

As the light faded, a pale gold masked hero with fangs on his arms appeared.

【Masked Hero Koga: Attack Power 2500】

"【Masked Hero Koga】's attack power is determined by the number of monsters on the opponent's field. For each monster on the field, his attack power increases by 500 points."

"You have one on your field, therefore this monster's ATK increases by 500."

[Masked Hero Koga: Attack Power 2500 → 3000]

Darkness sneered, "Hmph, but this monster's attack power is only about the same as Red-Eyes. Do you want to take me down with you?"

"Who wants to die with you?"

"Nani?"

With a wave of his hand, Judai announced loudly, "Kouga's other special ability is activated!"

Once per turn, you can banish 1 HERO monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 face-up monster on the field. That monster's ATK is reduced to the ATK of the monster banished by this effect until the end of this turn.

"I'm excluding Electro from the graveyard. Red-Eyes' attack power is reduced to 1400 this turn."

The moment he finished speaking, the other side made their move.

"Don't even think about succeeding! Activate the Trap Card, [Explosive Dragon Breath]!"

"Offer up any Dragon monster on your field as a tribute, and destroy all monsters whose defense is lower than that Dragon monster's attack power."

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon has 3000 ATK before being sacrificed, therefore all monsters on your field with 3000 or less DEF will be wiped out!"

As the effect took effect, the black dragon opened its mouth again, spewing out jet-black dragon breath that swept across the opposite side.

Boom boom——!!!

Nova and Koga were burned to ashes in an instant.

"Wow...that's really capable..."

Jaden could only watch helplessly as his monsters were wiped out.

"But then you won't have any monsters on the field."

He then placed a card from his hand onto the Duel Disk: "Therefore I summon Elemental HERO Electrician in Attack Position."

Om-! !

Amidst a flash of golden light, a deep blue warrior appeared on the field, accompanied by electric current.

[Elemental Heroes: Electric Warrior - Attack Power 1000]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

Immediately afterward, Jaden waved his hand and gave the order: "Battle begins! Electric Man, attack the player directly!"

Electric Man raised one hand, and a bolt of electricity was instantly released.

Zizzi——! !

"..."

The electric current stung Darkness's body, but he quickly regained his footing.

[Darkness: LP4000→3000]

"Hey~, not wavering at all? You're pretty strong."

Jaden clenched his fist and shouted, "But at this moment, the special effect of Electric Man activates!"

"When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent, Special Summon 1 banished Elemental HERO monster."

"Come back, Electro!"

A flash of white light, and Electro's figure reappeared in front of him.

[Electric Man: Attack Power 1600]

"The battle continues! Electroman attacks the player directly with Lightning Strike!"

Under his command, Electro also released electricity, which instantly struck Darkness.

"Ugh..."

This time, the injury was a little more severe.

[Darkness: LP3000→1400]

Asuka couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of Judai, he turned the tide in an instant."

Darkness said coldly, "Yuki Judai, your attack ends here."

"But my turn isn't over yet..."

Jaden waved his arm and shouted, "Activate the face-down card! The Trap Card [Fusion Preparation] is ready!"

Reveal 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent; add 1 Fusion Material Monster from that monster's card name to your hand. After that, you can add 1 Fusion Monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

"Through the effect of this card, reveal the Fusion Monster Elemental HERO Stormman, add the Elemental HERO Bubbleman listed above from your Deck to your hand, and recycle Fusion Monsters from your Graveyard."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 3]

"Tch! You want to fuse and summon again?!"

“That’s right.” Jaden drew another card from his hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk: “Spell Card [Fusion Identification] activated!”
